We are currently investing more resources into homelessness than ever in the history of this great city. By partnering with Harris County and the 100+ agencies of The Way Home, our regional homeless response system, we have permanently housed more than 21,000 individuals experiencing homelessness since I took office, helping reduce homelessness by 63% since 2012. This Housing Navigation Center is a game-changing tool, strategically designed to expedite and increase the number of people we can move off the streets and into housing units with services throughout the region, thereby boosting our efforts to reduce homelessness. This first-of-its-kind facility in Texas is just a pit stop on the road to being housed. This is NOT a homeless shelter. The facility offers 100 semi-private beds. It is:
o Coed,
o with 24-hr professional management and security,
o provides three meals a day,
o welcomes pets, and
o is already providing onsite services, including laundry, healthcare, employment, mental health, and substance abuse counseling.
o No children or walkups are allowed.
